Moscato d'Asti at its most fragrant: barely 5.5% alcohol, gently sparkling, sweet without a trace of heaviness. Paolo Saracco works out of Castiglione Tinella in the heart of the Moscato zone, drawing on family vineyards there and in Santo Stefano Belbo, Castagnole Lanze and Calosso, planted on sand, limestone and silt. The family sold Moscato in bulk to vermouth houses and then to Asti Spumante producers for most of the last century; Paolo studied oenology and began bottling under the family name in 1988. The must is kept cold and fermented slowly in stainless steel, which is what preserves the orange-blossom and peach aromatics and leaves the wine lightly frizzante. Serve it very cold, 6-8C, in a normal wine glass rather than a flute.

Wine Enthusiast

95 points

"White peaches kissed with fresh mint flowing through jasmine petals and wild thyme, each aromatic layer floating like summer memories. The palate dances with perfect balance, where ripe nectarines and elegant sweetness ride waves of vibrant acidity. This is Moscato d'Asti showing its truest self, where delicate bubbles and pristine fruit linger. Pour it with spicy Vietnamese spring rolls now, save some for fresh peach tart later, this wine knows no boundaries." —Jeff Porter

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Peach or apricot tart, panettone, hazelnut cake, fresh berries with cream, or as a foil for spicy Thai and Sichuan dishes.

Tasting Profile

Pale straw with a fine, soft fizz. Orange blossom, ripe peach and grapey musk; light and sweet on the palate but kept lively by fresh acidity, finishing clean rather than cloying.
